Dose-Response Modelling of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP) in Humans
Toxins, 2018 Paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) is caused by a group of marine toxins with saxitoxin (STX) as the reference compound. Symptoms in humans after consumption of contaminated shellfish vary from slight neurological and gastrointestinal effects to fatal ...

Past, Current and Future Techniques for Monitoring Paralytic Shellfish Toxins in Bivalve Molluscs
ToxinsParalytic shellfish poisoning is a threat to human health caused by the consumption of shellfish contaminated with toxins of the saxitoxin class. Human health is protected by the setting of regulatory limits and the analysis of shellfish prior to sale ...

Are toxins from harmful algae a factor involved in the decline of harbour seal populations in Scotland? [PDF]
, 2015 Firstly this study builds on the investigation initiated by Hall and Frame (2010), which found that Scottish harbour seals were exposed to domoic acid (DA), a potent natural neurotoxin produced by phytoplankton.
